The first action of Pillar 1 on homelessness in rebuilding Ireland commits to ensuring that by mid-2017 hotels will be used only in limited circumstances for emergency accommodation for families. Pillar 1 commits to meeting housing needs through the housing assistance payment, housing allocations, a rapid build programme and acquisitions. Nowhere in the document does it state those responsible will deal with this problem by moving people into other emergency accommodation or hubs. Will the Minister of State give us an update on whether the Government will meet that specific commitment by the end of June?
